overclocking the nb was just to eliminate the bottleneck that is prevalent with a couple of 470s using a tired tech cpu,the secondary was only seeing like 60-70% usage with stock settings.

I couldnt oc the ram much or justify pumping more money into ddr2 when ddr3 is quicker as standard and much cheaper!incidentally i could get cas 5 at 450/900 but it seemed to perform worse?!?a couple of benches i run at the time seemed to deny my suspicion though
geekbenches went up a bit but it felt slightly sluggish
I assume i was on the edge of BSODS or something,i really don't know but it felt safer at cas 6

the latency issue of ddr3 i am hoping to overcome with slightly tighter timings and of course the decreased latency that comes with nb OCcing

thanks for the education tatty!its hard to get a real run down on whats what without asking dumb questions,i am glad that i can learn from you guys!

last idiot question (for today) is ddr3 less of a strain on the IMC than ddr2?

i should hunt down crazyeyesreaper for some more education when the ram and mobo arrives i think

Have a look at his previous posts, there'll be some interesting bits in there somewhere. He seems to always be teaching people the same thing over and over again - probably why he's a "wall of text" man. I would be if I was teaching the same shizzle all day.

He's a good guy, a credit to this site; he's an OC'er/gamer so he's always helping people with their gaming rigs. Think he does crunching too. You'll find him in the gaming/OC'ing forums.

Not from where i am sitting, i dont want to start any fights or get into trouble but a lot of threads ive seen him have arrogant stubborn arguments.

That's probably because there's a lot of people arguing or asking the same questions every day Think of him like FreedomEclipse - he won't take sh*t and he's the first person to speak out, but he's a good guy.

He's nothing like freedom, i like freedom. He's easy to have banter with and doesn't act like he knows it all either which is something of a quality i hate in people. I just avoid people like that, not worth my time really.

I don't want to force an issue or anything but just try to avoid judgement until you've spoken to him or had a run in with him yourself. You never know, the people you've seen him arguing with might be people he's had long standing disputes with.
